Top of the morning to you #bsky. A perfect day for #writing dawns. #booksky #amwriting #bigsky #writingcommunity

In honour of National Flying Pig Day (to celebrate the impossible and creative), what mythical animal would you create and what would it be in celebration of?

Love me some English breakfast tea.

Can’t complain. Altho the fire is new. We used to freeze our butts off in winter.

Yep. It’s one of my fave places to write.

Happy Anzac Day.

Don't you love it when your writing shows you deeper meaning within your own life? Just had a moment of 'strike me dumb' realisation about an inner conflict of what I wanted and what I have. And, I love what I have more than what I thought I wanted. Dang!! #BookSky #Lighbulbmoment #WritingCommunity

How did you decide where to set your story? Mine was inspired by a mix of the soft edges of my country home and roof-top garden of a commercial building I used to work at in my former life in #PR #writing #BookSky It contrasts nicely with the other woman's perfect all white austere stone minimalism.

Nothing like a good cup of tea in front of the fire to get the #writing juices flowing. Homemade scones help too.

What kind of tea is your go to?

I'm a huge fan of #T2 Sticky Chai.

Happy Easter #BookSky-ers. Wishing you all the chocolate you're dreaming of. #easter #chocolate #EasterChocolateCrackleNests

It was so joyous wasn’t it.

Yes, it so does.

Oh no!!!

If you enjoy reading chick lit romance with a strong female lead, then this opportunity is for YOU! I'm building a beta reader team to give me feedback on my latest book before querying. Interested? Let me know in the comments.

Enjoyed my first lot of #Haiku, thought I'd try again. This time about #writing

Thought I'd try #haiku for #HaikuPoetryDay #Poetry. Have never, ever considered myself a poet, so please, please be gentle.

When I was a kid, I used to sing in stage musicals. It was one of my fave things to do. Sadly, I lost my soprano singing voice. Now I use my 'voice' tell stories in a different way - through story and #writing.

How are you using your voice?

#WorldVoiceDay #Health #BookSky #Performance

I'm a #writer by profession. I love to write, it's been my creative outlet for decades. Recently though, I've tried #painting and I like it - makes the words flow better. These Magnolias are a first attempt at #AbstractArt.
What's your favourite creative outlet?

Love this shot of the sky framed by the trees. This outlook often inspires my writing. Glorious even in Winter. #LookUpAtTheSkyDay #Nature #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AustralianWritingRetreat

One of the things I love about my country #writing retreat is its lovely garden where we still find new things each season. This is one of my fave finds. An old type of #hyacinth often found in 18 & 19th century churches & graveyards. #PlantAppreciationDay #Gardening #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I love 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - it makes me smile that someone out there created this day just for me.

What are you reading today? For me: I'm thinking some Blake Pierce because his writing just knows how to grab you and keep you hooked.

Writerly friends, I'm torn. I'm writing a difficult section of the book. Should my MC's about to be ex-husband tell her he found her wedding ring or not? She hasn't said anything about losing it yet. And if he doesn't what will he do with it? #ThisOrThat #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

Yep today is #HugYourDogDay. This is my monkey-dog, Bailey - who so far has interrupted my #writing 12 times today. Big sigh. Just as well he's cute, huh!

Today is #NationalUnicornDay, so here's a unicorn to inspire your writing today.

What's at the top of your to-be-read list? Right now, I'm thinking my next book will be 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 by Minka Kent. Love me a good thriller. And I'm intrigued by this plot line.

Today is #NoHouseworkDay! Who's with me? I'm gonna write 3,000 words. Right after I finish reading. #ReadMore #BookSky #Writing #MoreWordsPlease

One of the best things about writing is that the #inspiration can come from anywhere. I used imagery from a cracked piece of masonry to represent my MC's life falling apart in my first book. What's the most surprising inspiration you've come across? #writingCommunity #BookSky #WritingTheme

This is Bailey. He's my #writing partner, the fur-love of my life and a rescue puppy. Sometimes he's inspirational, sometimes he's a barky, farty, pain in the butt. But life is sooo much better with him in it.

I love a good rainbow and this was one of my fave moments at my country retreat where I do a lot of my #writing. I love that no matter how dark the skies during the rain, rainbows remind us there's blue skies to come #FindARainbowDay #Nature #BookSky #nofilter #ILoveTheCountry #DoubleRainbow
